TowBoatUS Expands into Panama City, Strengthening Assistance for Recreational Boaters Capt. Daimin Barth adds fourth TowBoatUS port to ownership portfolio along Florida’s Panhandle
An image of Capt. Daimin Barth and his wife Amber Zigadlo PANAMA CITY, Fla. – May 20, 2026 – TowBoatUS, North America’s largest network of on-water towing ports, announced today that U. Located in the heart of Panama City Beach, the port offers 24/7 on-water support to recreational boaters, including towing, fuel delivery, battery jumps, and soft ungroundings. Long-distance towing services beyond service areas listed on BoatU.S. member service locator may be available based upon conditions and availability. Separate from serving BoatUS Towing Members, the port also offers salvage, repairs, and prop disentanglement. “As a captain-turned-port owner, I take pride in building on my experience responding to distressed boaters and know firsthand how fast response times can make all the difference,” said Barth. “With three existing locations across the Florida panhandle, we’ve strategically extended our reach geographically to better allow us to cover the region and respond to members quickly and when they need us most.” The port will operate four TowBoatUS red response vessels crewed by U.S. Coast Guard-licensed captains, who are ready to respond to service calls. Vessels are strategically stationed at Sun Harbor Marina, Treasure Island Marina, a private dock in Parker, and on a trailer to service Deer Point Lake as well as other landlocked bodies of water. This distributed coverage allows the team to efficiently serve the entire Panama City Beach and Panama City area, reducing response times and ensuring help is always close by. The fleet ranges from 24 to 33 feet, enabling effective service in both shallow and deep-water conditions. Much like an auto club for recreational boat owners, Boat Owners Association of The United States (BoatUS) offers on-water towing memberships for $215/year for saltwater. In addition to a BoatUS Towing Membership, members also receive more than 25 valuable BoatUS benefits including a subscription to award-winning BoatUS Magazine, free DSC-VHF radio registration and more. To request on-water assistance, boaters can call the BoatUS toll-free 24/7 Dispatch Center at 800-391-4869, download the free BoatUS App, which connects boaters to the closest local towing captain, call TowBoatUS Panama City directly at (850) 697-8909, or hail on VHF radio Ch. 16. ###
About TowBoatUS Boat Owners Association of The United States (BoatUS) is the nation’s leading advocacy, services and safety group for recreational boaters. We provide more than 740,000 members with a wide array of helpful services, including 24-hour on-water towing that gets boaters safely home when their boat won’t, as well as jump-starts, fuel delivery, and soft ungroundings. The TowBoatUS towing fleet is North America’s largest network of towing ports with more than 330 locations and over 630 red towboats, responding to more than 110,000 requests for assistance each year.
